Aligned disk monitoring so that alldisks (Logical Disks, Cluster Shared Volumes, Clustered disks) now have thesame basic set of monitors.

There are now separate monitorsthat measure available MB and %Free disk space for any disk (Logical Disk,Cluster Shared Volume, or Clustered disk). NOTE: These monitors are disabled by default for Logical Disks, so you will need to enable them.

Updated display strings for alldisks to be consistent, regardless of the disk type.

The monitors generate alerts whenthey are in an error state. A warning state does not create an alert.

The monitors have a roll-up monitorthat also reflects disk state. This monitor does not alert by default. If youwant to alert on both warning and error states, you can have the unit monitorsalert on warning state and the roll-up monitor alert on error state.

Fixed an issue where networkadapter monitoring caused high CPU utilization on servers with multiple NICs.

Updated the Total CPU UtilizationPercentage monitor to run every 5 minutes and alert if it is three consecutivesamples above the threshold.

Updated the properties of theOperating System instances so that the path includes the server name it appliesto so that this name will show up in alerts.

Updated the Cluster Shared Volumemonitoring scripts so they do not log informational events.

Quorum disks are now discovered bydefault.

Mount point discovery is nowdisabled by default.

Notes

This version of the Management Pack consolidates diskmonitoring for all types of disks as mentioned above. However, for LogicalDisks, the previous Logical Disk Free Space monitor, which uses a combinationof Available MB and %Free space, is still enabled. If you prefer to use the newmonitors (Disk Free Space (MB) Low Disk Free Space (%) Low), you must disablethe Logical Disk Free Space monitor before enabling the new monitors.

The default thresholds for the Available MB monitor are notchanged, the warning threshold (which will not alert) is 500MB and the errorthreshold (which will alert) is 300MB. This will cause alerts to be generatedfor small disk volumes. Before enabling the new monitors, it is recommended tocreate a group of these small disks (using the disk size properties as criteriafor the group), and overriding the threshold for available MB.

Due to a glitch, the version of the MP published in thein-product catalog that you see in the SCOM UI is 6.0.6970.0. This will beupdated in the coming days. The 6970 version is upgradeable to 6972 and has thesame functionality. We prefer that customers use the 6972 version, which is theofficially released version.
